The Linux Foundation has announced that Hyperledger Aries has graduated to Active status. Hyperledger Aries provides reusable, interoperable tool kits designed for initiatives and solutions focused on creating, transmitting and storing verifiable digital credentials.
This major milestone shows that Hyperledger’s technical leadership recognizes the maturity of the Aries community and project. The Technical Steering Committee applies rigorous standards to active projects including code quality, security best practices, open source governance, and a diverse pool of contributors. Becoming an active Hyperledger project is a sign that Aries has grown in both community and code and is a big step forward for the decentralized digital identity community.
The TSC’s endorsement of Hyperledger Aries as out of incubation and into active project status is particularly important as the world grapples with finding trusted ways for people to prove their COVID-19 vaccination or test results. Aries’ maturity and protocol-driven approach to issuing verifiable credentials and presenting verified proofs has meant that Aries is a part of every technical discussion in that domain, and a core component of many of the technical stacks being deployed.
For more details on the components of Hyperledger Aries and how it fits with the Trust Over IP project and the larger digital identity ecosystem, see this blog post.
